we saw wit the nonstory of the energy company solyndra. and we're seeing it yet again with senator john mccain's attack on u.n. ambassador susan rice. mccain is accusing rice of not kel telling the truth about the attacks on our consulate in libya. of course rice's statements matched up with the intelligence community's talking points at that time. but mccain doesn't care about that. he's promising to block her if she's nominated to be secretary of state. problem is his fellow senate republicans are refusing to follow his lead. they're refusing to make the same threat against the president's nominees. >> he needs to nominate who he thinks will best do the job, and i have no prejudgment of anyone who he would potentially nominate. >> i wouldn't want to prejudge it. i'd have to wait and see who they appoint. >> and mccain's buddy joe lieberman doesn't get what the big deal is, by the way. >> as i look at what we now know the intelligence community was saying that week and i look at ambassador rice's statements on television, on the following
